View Bitcoin jumped to one-month highs earlier today, validating the falling wedge breakout seen in the 4-hour chart on Friday.
The outlook as per the daily chart remains neutral, as the cryptocurrency is still trapped in a symmetrical triangle.
A symmetrical triangle breakout, if confirmed, would imply a bearish-to-bullish trend change on the daily chart.
Bitcoin's high-volume move to one-month highs could be the start of a stronger rally to above key resistance near $3,760.
With a move to levels above $3,700, bitcoin has also witnessed an inverse head-and-shoulders breakout on the 4-hour chart - indicating a bearish-to-bullish trend change - and has opened up upside toward $4,000.
On the way higher BTC could encounter stiff resistance near $3,760 - the upper edge of a contracting triangle carved out over the last eight weeks.
Notably, long positions are still down at least 7 percent from record highs above 40,000 BTC witnessed in March last year.
The odds of BTC confirming the contracting triangle breakout with a move above $3,760 appear high.
A bearish-to-bullish trend change on the daily chart would be confirmed if prices see a UTC close above the upper edge of the symmetrical triangle, currently at $3,760.
